Your ignorance is obvious. The American middle-class had no chance when perverse forces of corporate and government corruption destroy ethics.

The American middle-class had no chance when they elected King George twice.

Look on the bright side, at least you got a president you thought you could have a beer with, even though you have no shot in hell of actually having one with him.

"I was set to vote for Hillary, then she dropped out and now supports obama. I cannot support obama. Since she is supporting him, if she won the election wopuld she appoint obama as VP ? I am not willing to take the chance. I plan to wait till late in the day before voting. If i have to vote for McCain to keep obama out i will. I do not want McCain but consider him lesser of two evils. I am plannig to vote for Barr. I am hoping he will come out of nowhere and win. I was for Paul until he dropped out of the race.

I''m trying to understand your viewpoint, but it is a bit difficult. You were going to vote for Paul, before you wanted to vote for Clinton and now you want to vote for Barr? Although I might be able to make the connection between Paul and Barr, I don''t know where Clinton comes into the picture. Clinton/Obama have the exact same policies, so if you were planning to vote for Clinton the only logical other option is Obama. McCain shouldn''t even be a consideration, if you truly were going to vote for Clinton.

See what i mean . You keep proving you are smart enough for the job, while smart enough to know better than take it. I don''t blame you. It isn''t a job i would want either. But i am considered a radical.

I could live on ramens, macaroni and water for a month if it meant feeding the rest of my family. Total cost, about $20.

This is why people should not outspend their means. To have a ''balloon payment'' for one, was not smart at all. Nobody should buy a home unless they''ve got 50% of the mortgage amount or more sitting in the bank, after the downpayment and closing costs, etc.

Furthermore, this man had to know that the auto industry, of big-ticket items is very cyclical. They should have planned better for the possibility of a job loss. And, what did the wife do before? The kids are old enough that all of them are in school, so for all these years, she could have been at least working part time somewhere for a good while, even if only to save up the cash for a rainy day.

Nah, this post is now in the public, where I said the words "pimps" and "hoes". Te neocons would be driven to anarchy at the thought of one who says such things being president.

Besides, I''d have to have a VP even worse than me, to guarantee i wouldn''t be assassinated, and if he, or she was worse than me, I wouldn''t trust them.

I think it was the Great Groucho who said "I wouldn''t want to be in a club that would have me as a member" ; )

Do they consider themselves middle class?

"Not anymore," Ruth said. "We were."
